Final version is released. Enjoy to everyone who uses or will use this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Look a likes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scataldo721:
i love this rom i can only imagine wat gingersense is gona be like!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
That just finished uploading typing thread for that now :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scataldo721:
ill try and be the first to use it im on the edge of my seat ever since i saw your "current ROM" ive been looking at my xda app every 5 mins:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Let me know what you think of final :) now I'm going to finish typing GingerSense thread :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scataldo721:
ok and a quick question for anyone to help me out i partitioned my sd card is there a way to unpartition it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Counterfeit7485:
does this work with clockwork recovery yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
No....did you backup like I said too?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Yup works with cwm now :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scataldo721:
no i didnt have a backup but oh well not a big deal
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Let me know what you think of final :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scataldo721:
ive used it for about an hour now loving it probably use as my daily until i see a gingersense rom but deff no complaints about the rom

EDIT: by the way fixed my sd card so it is no longer partitioned i formatted it 2 times and it worked phewwwww:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DemonRagna:
I remember I had problems with the previous version and now this again.

Okay wipe everything, flash rom, delete apps i dont want, re-sign them, flash the apps[25mb zip], then reboot. and now i get the infamous long loading with the circle for 10 mins.

EDIT: Looks like I'm going to need a different rom for the night, can't seem to get it to work. But maybe in the morning I will switch before I go to school.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Try this alternative ....

Try this unzip rom and removed apps into two different folders. Then copy all the apps you want from the removed apps folder into the /system/app directory. Then go into meta-inf and delete the three files, DO NOT delete the folder. Then go back into the roms main folder (the one that contains system data Meta info, etc.). Multi select EVERYTHING then zip it. Sign the zip. Now wipe every thing then flash that zip you added apps to instead ;) should work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DemonRagna:
I will try that in the morning.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Kool report back thoughts on final please :) I'm sure that'll work for you just place files from removal zip in appropriate places in rom ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Added alternative method to first post :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I tried option #2 in the OP, however, after I zip the file and then sign it using zip signer, i get the error "Can't open /sdcard/Cattui Varietal v2-signed.zip (bad) Installation Aborted.....

I have never signed a file before so there is a good possibilty that I am not doing it right. Any/All assistance is appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Did you multi select the folders when you rezipped rom? That seems like its your issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
What I did: (probably wrong) I extracted both the rom and removed apps, copied the apps I wanted and pasted into /system/apps. Deleted the 3 specified files, multi-selected the files, right clicked and chose "send to compressed-zip folder". I then copied the zip file to my phone and signed it using zip signer.

Edit: Am I suppose to be flashing a signed removed apps file or the whole rom with the apps I want? or does it matter?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
When you zipped the rom, did you zip the roms extracted folder or the folders contents? I think this is your problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I don't remember now, I am trying again as we speak

Edit: I am only using "Zip Signer" from the Android Market, Do I need to use ppcgeeks & zip signer instead?

Edit 2: Tried a 3rd time, still a no go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DemonRagna:
Okay this is what I did. I extracted the zipped rom, then I extracted the removed apps, i took the apps i wanted in the extracted rom folder, delete the 3 files in META-INF, then go to the root and select all and zip, then i go sign the zip, and go flash it.

I already wiped and partition.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Your problem is you are.zipping the files wrong. You must multi select everything IN the roms folder then zip. That'll make the zip just like the rom. Then use ppc geeks or zip signer (I use ppc geeks).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Are you zipping the contents of the extracted Rom by multi selecting them all or are you zipping its extracted folder? Btw this is the * edit* same method as the flashable zip for removed apps just your putting files into Rom. You still zip and sign same way :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waffle_:
Don't extract anything from any of the files.

When your download has finished, go to the folder it is in and copy the zip folder. And then simply paste the zip folder inside the root of your sdcard.

Nothing should be extracted from any of the files.

keep in mind, renaming applies.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Hey kifno:

Installed the new rom and still looks great and FAST. Still having long boots. No HTC wigdets after installing the 3/10 removed apps signed zip (no deletions, the whole thing). Sprint vvm working great. My only issues are the widgets. Logcat attached this time w/o BW.

Please let me know. Thanks. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
i don't think he is extracting the actual apk file he's saying he re-added them to the rom like i instructed by i know their problems have to be they're re-zipping the rom wrong :( i'm trying to explain how to re-zip as best as possible....hmmmm

rom's extracted folder

|

|-----data

|.........|

|.........|-----app (add the data apps here that you want)

|

|------kernel

|

|

|------meta-inf (delete cert.rsa, cert.sf, mainifest.mf)

|

|

|------system

|.............|

|.............|------app (add the systems apps you want here, leave the rest)

|.............|

|.............|------framework (add stuff from removed zip here if you need that stuff)

|

|------tmp

|

|

|------boot.img

|

|

|------check_data_app

|

|

|------installbusybox

now rezip the data, kernel, meta-inf, system, tmp, boot.img, check_data_app, and busybox folders/files all at once by selecting them all then compressing into a zip file. then sign using ppc geeks or zipsigner :D

that is as detailed as i can get lol :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DemonRagna:
IT WORKS! I'll let you know my opinion after a few hours with this. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Counterfeit7485:
When I removed apps from the removed apps.zip I just deleted them out of the zip file using winrar and didn't have to unzip or resign anything. Seems like an easier way than unzipping/resigning everything to me.

A couple of issues I've had with the rom so far...

-Sense has restarted a couple of times trying to wake the phone

-long pause before the phone wakes up

On a side note, after wiping all data and installing the rom w/ some of the removed apps, I also noticed that all my apps from my previous rom were still installed and working? Not complaining because that means I didn't have to re-download them all from the market, just thought that was strange.

Besides that it is definately the fastest sense rom I've ever used. Thanks for all ur hard work man!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
was it the typed diagram that helped you? if so i think i should add that to the first post :D

did you wipe the sd-ext partition? and i made the upzipping/zipping process long instructions b/c not everyone uses winrar....some like to use the phone to do those things ;) and i don't have the sense restart problems (probably wipe issues) and as for phone wake time hmm.....try the rom out with my batterly life mod (b/c this comes with the more performance mod) or just remove it (probably your phone can't handle the mod). that should fix all problems because the rom itself is perfectly fine :D

as for being the fastest sense rom, i've heard that a ton lol thanks :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
When rebooting my phone this morning, booted fast and all HTC widgets are there. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
lol weird but good now that you're all set with the final version any thoughts on it for the final time?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
added user friendly instructions :D (diagrams for how to reapply apps)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Would people like to see this rom with	a sense ui? If enough people want it i'll upload it really quick. It'll be the same as the final just with a sense ui.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] guitardoc64:
That would be a yes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Okay what should I name it? :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pyovue:
For some reason, when I plug my phone to usb to transfer files, it will not work. Last build did just fine. I completely wiped everything, and booted this new one. Now I just realized that the USB disk drive mode wont work. Although USB Debugging is available. What is going on? I have up-to-date drivers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
This is my daily rom and usb file transfer works fine for me and I only reinstalled a few things on my rom from the removed apps zip. What files did you restore?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pyovue:
I didnt remove anything from the removed apps, just flashed as is. Ill try reflashing it again. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
You should remove stuff it's really recommended :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pyovue:
Which should I remove if you dont mind me asking. What did you remove?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I removed everything except gapps, account sync, market, html viewer, flash, and twitter
[Hero CDMA Android Development] guitardoc64:
KifSense? EffyouSprintSense? I dunno, guess I'll have to think up something cool.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Releasing it tonight :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DemonRagna:
Can't wait. But what is your average battery life? I get like 6-7 hours and I reach 15%.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
When I make my phone all about performance I get roughly 6 hours then I hit 20%. When I'm all about battery life I can pull 12 hours + no problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
you should add a android drinking a mug of coffee as your boot.img =]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
If I knew how to make a video like that to get snapshots to make the bootanimation I would. If you find a video I will do that :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
cause thats like what the roms all about man! the Bootimg!!

haha just mesin, but really, do it.

Fresh is awesome at it but hes busy with his sweetheart
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Moved to a new thread
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
"already" as in one minute before this post. Got it.

EDIT: I see you have "based" this ROM on nfinitefx45's ROM. What exactly have you changed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dburg84:
build.prop <---FIRST?

I'm just playing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
This is really nice. I changed the font using Font Installer from the market. One thing I miss is the HTC Facebook Sense that syncs with my contacts, or there is an alternate solution to this?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Yeah kifno, you probably shouldn't lie on a public timestamped forum. I posted that HOURS before you edited the OP (at 4:39), and you should have done that BEFORE you put up somebody elses work. I think you may have "developed" this by adding and deleting apps and changing the build.prop, right? That's not really developing fyi. I would echo the question, what exactly did you change? The rom doesn't even contain a kernel? You flash to flash that IMMEDIATELY, wow I hope people nandroid before they try this. :mad:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abadasstanker69:
God I hate when people act like they are the ****. So the guy hasn't given credit to anyone YET. It clearly stated in the op he was working on it. "oh no! You're gonna get banned! " because nobody is allowed multiple email addresses and couldn't create a new account? When you constantly criticize dumb **** it makes people shy away from trying. It's got to the point where I stopped releasing ANYTHING unless people pm me. It's ridiculous. I'm glad to see someone working on ANYTHING for our hero. It's open source for a reason. We give each other credit out of respect NOT because it's compulsory. Thanks for trying bro and don't let dumb comments hold you back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abadasstanker69:
I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything I just hate bullying. I'm sure we've all experienced it at one point and it doesn't need to continue here. This is a place of learning not mockery. Sorry if I ruffled anyone's feathers but can't we keep it respectful?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Will post a long reply post this weekend about everyones post....sigh...smh

Released and waiting for feedback for

[Espresso 2.1] Cattui Varietal
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nate14:
I'm curious as to what font you ended up using? I attempted to change the font as well but it seemed like any font I used was really small. Got any advice by chance?

Also, it'd be pretty cool if this wasn't turned into another Gingerbread-bickering thread. PMs were invented for a reason and the last couple posts are a perfect example on when to use it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Besides that it is generally a courteous thing to do, the Forum Rules are very clear on the matter of giving credit when using others' work.

At the very least, giving credit to your sources helps people to realize exactly what they're flashing, especially when the OP really doesn't give you any information about what they've put together.

Surely you do not think that willfully circumventing a ban would be taken well?

There is an etiquette above the written rules expected of those who post their works on this forum. At the very least, many of us expect that we at least are informed of the contents of things we are asked to test. We also expect that works provided will not cause our devices harm (or at the very least, a warning be given that things might get broken), and that the members who are providing us with these works at the very least have a working knowledge of what they are providing.

Kifno has shown on several occasions that he doesn't really know how the things he is posting work, and that he has no problem with simply collecting and packaging other peoples' works and tweaks and calling them his own.

Most open-source licenses very much do require attribution of copyright and an acknowledgment source. At the very least, this ROM is in violation of the GPL because it contains a compiled version of the Linux kernel without mentioning any applicable copyrights or any availability of source code.

We keep the mockery to IRC. We post valid concerns to the forum. This thread and others like it are disrespectful to the community and to others' hard work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abadasstanker69:
Great job. I have valid arguments for all of those things BUT as I said, XDA = Place of learning and I highly doubt anyone will learn anything from this. I'm just sick of the bullying. I have nothing further to say about it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abadasstanker69:
There's a font changing app on the market. Just extract it and take a look at what they did. It should help you to learn what works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
The name is Droid_Sans_Stock_Font and I used Font Installer (paid app) from the market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Were you able to sync with Facebook? When I press it under Set up Social Networks doesn't do anything.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nate14:
Actually I don't have a Facebook account (gasp indeed! Right?) so I can't say but are you trying to set it up during setup? If so, I'd recommend trying to setup your account (Facebook) after setup. Maybe that will work. Sorry I can't be of anymore help w/ that :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
No, it didn't, but thanks anyway. I will wait to the weekend to see if kifno has a fix for this.

Regards and thanks for your reply.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I can't say much until the weekend (tomorrow night :D)

Released and waiting for feedback for

[Espresso 2.1] Cattui Varietal
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Ok, these are my observation from a user point of view:

Text in search box isn't well aligned.

Facebook and Flicker Sense will be nice.

Original font too thin, I changed it using Font Installer.

This is based from NFX 2.32.651.2 (newer one) not the .7 software.

White shadows on top black bar, where the icons are.

I haven't tested GPS, but I believe that coming from 2.1 there won't be a problem.

I love the shiny look.

Maybe I don't cover it all. In general it works good.

Kudos kifno.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
.7 is not the newest stock ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Sorry, that what I meant, a comma was needed.

Btw, I was looking forward to an update to the LS 2.1.1. I heard you're working with GB now. How's been your experience with it?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
With all due respect to OP, this isn't the place to discuss my ROM. I've PMed you about it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Ok. No prob. PM'ed you back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
OOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEE! ITS THE WEEKEND HELL YEAH!...i'm about to release a big update in a few hours (i just got on the desktop, so i'm going to be changing/improving some things for the better for a few hours :D)....but first let me make a fancy updated first post and then let me reply to all my comments on all my threads (this one first) so that i can give answers to questions, my opinion on things, etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
almost done updating the first post to be as detailed as possible :D

then i'm going to comment on everyone's post and then get to about a 4-5 hour session for developing the rom, release it based off where ended for feedback :D

this is going to be a LONG night
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Appreciate your hard work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
screenshots will be up SOON!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
this part is causing me a lot of trouble lol, i've copied the files over and editing the update-script so that i won't get errors when cooking the kernal to the boot.img after the rom installs is keeping me from releasing the latest update lol.....i'm just going to stick with flash a kernal after for now :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
You can always unpack and repack the boot.img on your phone through adb shell. You just need unpackbootimg and mkbootimg and the kernel. But you will also need some files that are kernel specific. One of them is wlan.ko.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jdlumley:
Maybe I'm just blind, but I dont see the download link for the ROM in the OP either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
in the instructions click [Espresso 2.1] Cattui Varietal
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MikeSkiX:
look like the link is gone.. i don't see it

yup link look like it was remove..i even click on the paper clip and it not there also..o well
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
it should be in the OP but....

the link is in the first post but it looks like a mod has hidden the link/line in the instructions telling where to download the rom :( what did i do wrong now? all it is is a stripped rom....i didn't include titanium backup or screen shot it (i just used tb to install screenshot it from my backup's i have of all my apps)

so if this rom doesn't contain anything but the fundamental funtions why would my link to the rom be removed? now no one can test 3/5....

:(

MODS PLEASE ANSWER THANK YOU :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
That's werid because I'm mobile and I'm also using the old xda app and I see your link just fine. Also I just hit the link which promptly opend up my web browser to download from media fire. I started the dl and let it reach 15% before I cancled due to my battery being at 64%. So just wanted to inform you

Yea its me again with the

[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
THAT IS EVEN WEIRDER! b/c i can't see the link in my browser (opera for desktop) until i deleted the line then re-added it to the instructions...weird
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
okay 3/5/11 build is up and a TON better than 2/28 many changes applied (i'm thinking about starting a change log... :D)

test it out and let me know what you think: postitive feedback please
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Well I'm not at my laptop or desk top but just wanted to tell you that I seen your link. If it was truly blocked I don't think I would have.

Yea its me again with the

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nate14:
I have downloaded 3/5 this morning and the link is showing for me using the xda app.

Overclocked to 729 this ROM is pretty darn fast. I like the small file size as well, ~80 mb awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
talked with the mods and its my stupid browser lol

thanks glad to see people actually like this rom :D

i will add a poll once i get the majority of the issues fixed :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jdlumley:
I'm liking this rom except for the fonts. Is there any easy way to switch to different fonts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
yup read this
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
FINALLY! i got virtualbox ubuntu set up with almost everything i need for developing my rom! (except signing and adb are on windows but my monitor is big enough that i can run both at the same time :D thank goodness for shared folders :D)

so i'd like to say i cooked in the 768mhz kernal from deca into this rom and i'm working on a few other things.....going to release 3/5/11 v2 or 3/6/11 depending on how long i work on this (i have about11 hours available on my desktop but about 4 of those will be dance practice and 1 hour to cook :D) so i'd say about 6 hours worth of just working on this rom :D i think i can get a lot done today :D

i'm going to re-read the thread and look for all the problems that people posted with the rom and try and fix most of them :D
